No speed dating ever!

This month Valentine Taylor tries speed dating...

Speed dating? No way, no way! That was always my response…until now. My love life this past few weeks can be likened to the weather – I’m going through a dry spell. It’s how I find myself at Barbican, the groovy arts centre, about to speed date. Hold onto your seats people.

But what about the dog guy I hear you cry – well, quite. Unfortunately, our dinner date ended with him telling me I’m a “great gal” (he actually said that) but that he’s not looking for a relationship.

This was after I’d turned down his offer to go back to his place for a nightcap. Go figure. I’m guessing I’m not the only victim he’s lured from the doggy swimming pond. Dogs should come with a dating warning!
